Richard Canale said the Planning Board reviewed their goal setting document <br />from 2014 to see specifically which goals were met. Maryann McCall Taylor’s <br />last day is Friday. The town is interviewing new candidates for Planning <br />Director. <br />Carolyn Levi (Transportation Safety Group): Safety crossing stanchions are <br />needed at the Bikeway intersections at Hancock, Woburn, Meriam and Revere <br />Streets. Carolyn reported that the TSG supports the idea but has no money <br />presently to buy them. The one that was approved last year for the Hancock <br />intersection is apparently broken. <br />Sandra Shaw: The Recreation Department helped support the second annual <br />Bike Smart program for fifth graders during Bike Walk ‘n Bus Week. <br />Other business: Peggy met with Marc Valenti to walk through the town center <br />and identify the locations of the missing bike racks and to note the damaged <br />ones, as well. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 pm. <br />Record of the Discussions of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways <br />Treasurer's Report <br />: The cost of the Bike Lexington flyer that was included <br />along with the April tax bill was $1,000; the final snowplowing invoice was for <br />$500.

Bob H. will coordinate volunteers. The market manager has <br />assured that the corral will be assigned a perimeter space. <br />Bikeway Cleanup: <br /> Other than the section leaders (Bob Dangel, John Frey, <br />Mike Tabaczynski, Jennifer Melot, Peggy Enders, and Bob Hausslein), there <br />were very few other volunteers, despite the prior publicity. Leaf dumping <br />continues to be a problem behind the cemetery and other spots along the trail, <br />and litter from snow plowing is still a problem behind the car wash in East <br />Lexington. Mike noted many guardrails are nearing their life span. Many <br />have been damaged by plows; at some point the Town should consider or <br /> <br />
